Safety

Safety is a State of Mind.

Think safely and you will act and perform safely.

Safety

50% of all farm related accidents involve working with machinery

The definition of safety:Developing an environment free from

danger, risk, or injuryImpossible to accomplish

The #1 key to shop safety is the people who use it!

Principles of Safety

1. Safety should be on one’s mind at all times while in the shop / laboratory.

2. Safety glasses/goggles should be worn over the eyes at all times while in the shop / lab.

3. Horseplay is never allowed in the shop.

4. Every student should know the location of fire equipment and how to use it properly.

5. Tools and machines should be maintained in good working condition, and when broken either repaired or rendered inoperable.

6. Paint and flammable materials should be stored in a fire approved cabinet.

7. Heavy objects should be lifted with the legs and not the back.

8. All tools should be returned to their proper place after use.

9. Only one person is allowed in the safety zone around equipment while it is in use.

10. Shops should be cleaned at the end of each class period

11. In case of a shop accident the instructor should be notified immediately regardless of how minor the injury may be.

11. Ventilations should be provided when using materials that emit dangerous fumes.

12. If a student is on medication, the instructor should be informed at the beginning of class.

13. All safety guards should be in place on all equipment when being used by the students.

14. Students are not allowed to use equipment until they have been given proper instruction and have received the approval of the instructor.

15. Report all safety violations to the instructor.

16. Check all electrical cords for nicks, frays, cracked insulation, and broken wires.

17. Tools should not be carried in the pockets

18. Throwing objects, loud talking and disruptive behavior is not allowed in the shop.

19. All clothing worn in the shop should be neat fitting, without cuffs, and frazzled edges

20. Loose hanging clothing such as ties, jewelry, and hair should removed or tied back in a safe manner

Safety Color Coding

Development National organizations worked together American Society of Agricultural Engineers Safety Committee Of the American Vocational

Association OSHA - Occupational Safety and Health

Administration.

Safety Color Coding

Red Areas of danger Safety switches Fire extinguishers Fire Exits Red = Danger

Safety Color Coding

Orange Orange = Warning Wheels Levers Knobs Guards Parts of Equipment that cut, crush, or grind.

Safety Color Coding Yellow

Yellow = Caution Wheels, levers, and knobs that adjust or control

machines Can be used to indicate traffic lanes, and safety

zones around equipment.

Safety Color Coding

Blue Blue = Information “Out of Order” Broken shop equipment

Safety Color Coding

Green Green = Safety First Aid Safety Equipment- such as safety glasses and

hearing protection

Fire Hazards

The Fire TriangleComponents necessary for a fire to take place

1. Fuel Any combustible material that will burn

2. Heat Most material will burn if they are made hot

3. Oxygen Gas in the air that is not a fuel but must be

present for material to burn

Fire Hazards

Fire Prevention Take away one of the components of the fuel

triangle Fire will stop or will not start

Safe storage of fuels Clean shop facilities

Fire Extinguishers

Know the kind of fire: Class A- Ordinary combustibles

paper, wood, cloth Class B- Fuel fires

gas, oil Class C- Electrical fires Class D- Combustible metals

Fire Extinguishers

C

B

Fire Extinguishers

Used to smoother a fire. There are many different types. Always have one handy when working with combustible

Can be used on a person whose clothes are on fire Also wrap the person in a blanket to cut off the

oxygen to the fire

HOW TO EXTINGUISH SMALL FIRES

Class A - Extinguish ordinary combustibles by cooling the material below its ignition temperature and soaking the fibers to prevent re-ignition.

Use pressurized water, foam or multi-purpose(ABC-rated) dry chemical extinguishers. DO NOT USE carbon dioxide or ordinary (BC-rated) dry chemical extinguishers on Class A fires.

Class B - Extinguish flammable liquids, greases or gases by removing the oxygen, preventing the vapors from reaching the ignition source or inhibiting the chemical chain reaction.

Foam, carbon dioxide, ordinary (BC-rated) dry chemical, multi-purpose dry chemical, and halon extinguishers may be used to fight Class B fires.

Class C - Extinguish energized electrical equipment by using an extinguishing agent that is not capable of conducting electrical currents.Carbon dioxide, ordinary (BC-rated) dry chemical, multi-purpose dry chemical and halon* fire extinguishers may be used to fight Class C fires. DO NOT USE water extinguishers on energized electrical equipment.* Even though halon is widely used, EPA legislation is phasing it out of use in favor of agents less harmful to the environment.

Class D - Extinguish combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, potassium and sodium with dry powder extinguishing agents specially designated for the material involved.In most cases, they absorb the heat from the material, cooling it below its ignition temperature.

Remember the acronym – P.A.S.S.

P – Pull the pin A – Aim the extinguisher nozzle at the base of

the fire S – Squeeze the trigger while holding the

extinguisher upright. S – Sweep the extinguisher from side to side

covering the area of the fire with the extinguishing agent

Planning An Agricultural Project

Blueprints are used to plan projects

Simple designs Sharp lead pencil with an eraser Protractor Ruler (12”) Compass


Detailed plans Drawing board to attach paper Masking tape T square for drawing horizontal lines Right triangle for vertical lines Scale

Instrument with increments shortened according to proportion

1. Flat scale- looks like a ruler

2. Triangular scale- three sided, but 6 scales

Planning An Agricultural Project The basics of drawings

Sketch Rough drawing with no

dimensions Pictorial drawing

Shows all three views

1. Top

2. Side or end

3. Front


The basics of drawings (continued) A scale drawing represents objects in exact

proportions If the scale is ¼”=1’ then ¼” on the drawing

would equal 1 foot on the object So…. A 2” line on the drawing would equal

what on the object? 8 feet

Scale will vary depending on the size of the object
